    ECON1001 Mathematics Diagnostic test?

    Well I did 1001 four years ago so I'm not sure when it was introduced. Doesn't sound like it will count for your grade either. If you perform poorly, I figure they may recommend going to the Maths Learning Centre for revision but aside from that, you should be sweet. It's very simple maths.

    ECON1001 Mathematics Diagnostic test?

    They do diagnostic tests now? The maths in microeconomics is fairly simple. If you performed well in 2U Maths (maybe at a Band 5+ level), then you shouldn't run into difficulties. It is pretty much basic differentiation and graphing functions. The difficulty comes when you are required to...

    How do you know what textbooks to buy?

    You wait until you start the lectures to see if it's essential. More often than not, your lecturer will tell you.

    feeling sooo scared can someone help me plzzzz

    I always regarded it as self selection. Those good at English do Advanced while those poor at English do Standard. I always got the impression that the marking standards between those two subjects were similar as well. A student may be poor at English due to a particular deficiency in a...

    Math content in econ1001/1002

    This is pretty much on the money. The challenge comes in when you're expected to look at a problem and then interpret it mathematically. The actual mathematics isn't challenging until you start higher units.
